The junior group carries on MCZ's tradition with a new song

EBiDAN (Ebisu Gakuen Boys Club), a male artist collective under Stardust Promotion, has released "Suki Dakara Hashire!!!!!!" as a coupling track on its 15th anniversary single "Yes! Tokyo," released on August 11, 2026.

The song was first performed at a live concert last year, and it is the latest in a long-running lineage of "Hashire" songs (songs themed around "Run!" that has continued within Stardust Promotion.

Since Momoiro Clover's "Hashire!" in 2010, a number of songs have been released by the junior groups and sister groups of the agency. It has become a tradition for the number of exclamation marks to gradually increase with each new release.

• Momoiro Clover - "Hashire!" (means'Run!')
• Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku - "Motto Hashire!!" (means'Run Harder!!')
• Team Shachihoko - "Mo Chotto Hashire!!!" (means'Run Just a Little More!!!')
• Bullet Train - "Hashire!!!! Chotokkyu" (means'Run!!!! Bullet Train!!!!')
• DISH// - "Sara ni Hashire!!!!" (means'Run Even Further!!!!')
• KAGAJO☆4S - "Toriaezu Hashire!!!!" (means'Just Run, for Now!!!!')
• Takoyaki Rainbow - "Chanto Hashire!!!!!!" (means'Run Properly!!!!!!')

And now, EBiDAN's "Suki Dakara Hashire!!!!!!" has become the latest installment. (means 'Run, Because You Love It!!!!!!')

The spirit of "continuing to run together with the fans," pioneered by Momoiro Clover Z, has been passed down to the various groups within the agency, and is now gaining even more momentum under the large EBiDAN umbrella.

For Mononofus, it can only be welcome news to see the agency's junior groups passing the baton from one generation to the next.
